Garden after replanting
Now to get our new fence built.
Through the years we had hired plenty of itinerant handymen to tackle small jobs at our
house, some with great results, others not so much. But most of these moderately-skilled
craftsmen had faded away.
As a result, we literally couldn't think of anyone who might be willing to tackle such a
small job without charging us a fortune.
Until we remembered that our neighbors' house up the hill was positively bristling with
lattice. I dug out Ellen Butler's number and called her for ideas.
“I know just the guy,” she said when I described the project. “Our housekeeper's
cousin-in-law Geraldo. He installed our lattice two years ago and did a great job.”
“You're a godsend.”
“By the way, we were down last week and couldn't help noticing your garden. What
happened?”
“It's a long story, but for now we're blaming it on Disney World.”

“
Sí
, I can do,” Geraldo crisply informed me when I called him later that day. “When I
start?”
I liked his eagerness.
